Chapter 563: This is the empire I built for you

The two came out of the community, walked east along the familiar Tsinghua South Road, and went to the nearby vegetable market to buy some vegetables.

6:00 PM, evening rush hour.

On the asphalt road, vehicles were flowing endlessly, and on both sides were workers who had just finished work, looking a bit tired, lively and full of market flavor.

Wang Xiaping called.

"Where are you?"

"Going out to buy vegetables."

"Very good, very good, eating outside is not healthy, especially those takeouts, the pig food in the countryside is healthier and cleaner than them... Our community did a hygiene inspection a few days ago, that thing, there are rats everywhere in the kitchen..."

Wang Xiaping babbled a lot, and finally mentioned the point: "When are you two going to see the house?"

"Saturday."

"Good, the house matter should be decided early."

Wang Xiaping babbled a lot again, exhorting Xu Qingzhou on the points to pay attention to when looking at the house. What about the waterproofing of the bathroom, the layout of the kitchen...

The two just returned home.

Zhang Junli also called, still asking about the house, and let the two young people send the photos to the group when the time comes, and they will help refer to them.

Friday, the weather was slightly gloomy.

North of the Summer Palace.

The vehicle stopped at the gate of the Kyoto Institute of Materials.

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao just got out of the car, and a slightly chubby figure had already greeted them. It was the director of the temporary office, Ji Yunshi.

"Director Ji."

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao greeted.

Ji Yunshi waved his hand and said with a smile: "Professor Xu, Song Yao classmate, if you don't mind, call me 'Old Ji'."

Saying that, he welcomed the two into the institute.

What came into view was a piece of undulating red brick buildings, dense vegetation, quite modern, and it felt a bit like a large research institute.

Xu Qingzhou retracted his gaze from the buildings in the distance, and didn't be polite, asking: "Old Ji, how is the installation of the equipment?"

"Currently, engineers are installing the atomic layer deposition (ALD) system, which is expected to be put into use in about 1 month. The aberration-corrected transmission electron microscope has just arrived, and we are docking with German engineers on installation details..."

This is also the drawback of imported equipment. Installation, later maintenance, and replacement of parts are all subject to equipment manufacturers outside the cabinet.

In the future, if there is an opportunity, we must strengthen R&D in this area and cannot always be controlled by others.

Song Yao said: "The precision parts of the superconducting magnet system will arrive in Kyoto on July 1st."

Ji Yunshi knew that Song Yao was responsible for funds and equipment purchase, and said with a smile: "The engineering team is ready. As long as the equipment arrives, it can be put into installation immediately."

"This is the scientific research experimental cluster, including the basic materials R&D building, extreme environment simulation laboratory... This is the No. 4 experimental building, where it is planned to install characterization and testing equipment..."

Ji Yunshi pointed to his left hand.

It was a building with a streamlined design. The building blocks emphasize the overall sense and power, and the layered space design reflects the sense of suspension and transparency, looking quite technological.

"This is the supercomputing center under renovation, and some equipment has been moved in."

"The use of the buildings here is still being planned. The reserved land is 220 acres, which will be used for the second and third phases of the institute."

Currently, the area included in the institute is about 500 acres. It sounds large, but for a research institution, it can only be considered medium.

Ordinary residential communities are about 100-200 acres, and the Yanyuan campus of Kyoto University covers an area of about 2925 acres.

The buildings in the institute are all newly built, and the original plan was also to be an experimental base for Jingda and Zhongguancun.

Although there is a lot of self-reserved land on the side, it looks relatively empty, but the buildings have already taken shape.

In a place like Kyoto where every inch of land is worth an inch of gold, the official can take out such a large piece of land to give to the institute, which shows the importance attached to Xu Qingzhou.

Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao followed Ji Yunshi around the Materials Institute.

"This area includes the administrative center, academic lecture hall, and international conference center. The main building adopts a streamlined glass curtain wall design, and photovoltaic panels and rainwater collection systems are installed on the top..."

Ji Yunshi took the two into the administrative building and talked about the recruitment of researchers: "Professor Xu, when do you think the second interview time is appropriate?"

"August."

Ji Yunshi nodded, and then said: "We received an email from a physics professor at Zhongda this morning, who wants to join the institute."

"How is the background?" Xu Qingzhou asked.

Ji Yunshi said: "Worked at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory at Stanford University in the United States for 5 years, returned to the country to get married in 2012, and has not had any outstanding achievements in recent years."

"You send me his resume."

The SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory can rank in the top ten in the United States. No matter how you look at it, this resume is quite beautiful, but he hasn't produced anything worth showing after returning to the country, which is worth questioning.

"Good, I will organize it and send it to you when I go back."

Ji Yunshi said with a smile: "Let me take you to your office first, see if you are satisfied, if you want to change it, let the construction team start early."

Xu Qingzhou's office is on the 6th floor.

About twenty square meters, desk, bookcase, sofa, coffee table... everything is available, quite perfect.

"No problem."

Xu Qingzhou looked around and nodded slightly, very satisfied. The rest needs to add some small parts, such as a printer, a whiteboard for calculation at ordinary times.

The view is good, and the window faces the Old Summer Palace, full of green.

In addition, there is a rest room on the left hand side, where everything is available, desk, wardrobe, washbasin, bathroom basically according to the dormitory standard.

Afterwards, Ji Yunshi took Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao to an office to meet the office clerks.

When all things were done, it was 10:30 AM.

Under the administrative building, Xu Qingzhou said to Ji Yunshi who followed out: "Old Ji, let's walk by ourselves."

Ji Yunshi nodded. The institute was just established, and work was complicated, so he was really a bit busy.

"Good, this is the entry and exit certificate." But at the moment of leaving, he handed over two work permits. Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao both had them, and the photos were found from somewhere.

Ji Yunshi left, leaving only Xu Qingzhou and Song Yao.

Xu Qingzhou pinched the hand of the girl beside him and said proudly: "Look, this is the world I built for you."

"I should take a picture of what you look like now."

Song Yao was very helpless to this unserious person, complaining: "If those people in the office just now saw this middle-aged look of someone, their three views would definitely be broken."

"Tsk~ this is called childlike innocence."

Xu Qingzhou rolled his eyes, the sun came out, he took out a parasol from Song Yao's bag, and the two walked slowly. The whole institute was still very deserted, except for the engineers installing equipment, there was basically no one else.

The first research institute in life.

Ding~

Task completed.

Song Yao let Xu Qingzhou hold her hand, hiding under the parasol, because it was close to the Summer Palace, the air was quite good.

Well, I still have to admit that this guy is very powerful.

She had seen the drawings of the institute long ago, but it was still shocking to see these huge buildings on the spot.
